The essays examine the contributions of Bob Marley towards the sustenance of the philosophy of Pan-Africanism as well as the intellectual ideology of Marcus Garvey. It also looked at reggae music as an effective means of disseminating information and making discontent or disaffection and as well explores the nexus between the struggle for the emancipation and liberation for the African continent.
